Carl Dunder's Philosophy

From the Detroit Free Press.
Maybe it vhas leetle strange dot no
person in poor health vhas an infidel.
No man vhas so great or good dot he
can kick SOMEBODY'S dog und not make an
enemy.
Gratitude means dot we feel ticklei
so long as we are getting something for
nothing. When it vhas der odder feller's
turn we kick.
Much dot der world readily accepts as
wisdom vhas only assurance nit sheap
coat Of plating.
II der world owes anybody living it
yhas der man who works der hardest.
Might should not make right, but it
vhas better to lose your case dan to en-
gage in kicking match NIT mule.
While we like TO see orr neighbor get
along ind prosper. it vhas pretty hardt
TO fOrgif der aunt who dies und leafs him
d legacy.
If we can pass punched quarter off
on a street. car conductor dis world vhas
full of honest men. If dot conductor
sticks US nit lead nickle we no longer
hat confidence in any mans integrity.
If some poor man dies der question
vbas. when shall he be buried2" If
some rich man dies eaferpOdy asks.
Can dey proke his will?'
If you like to keep your friends, keep
your money where dey can't get it. Der
man who borrows of you und can't paw
feels dot you have wronged him.
| like to see some boy enjoy himself all
he can. but if he vhas breaking my win
dows instead of my neighbor's dot vhas
deeferant
Der man who figures dot dis world vhas
created simply to gif him shance to lif
vhas shenerally buried NIT very short
funeral procession.
When a man vhas at der bottom Of a
well it vhas very kin1t in somebody to
advise him to look oop.
Only one religion in dis worldt vhas
right. Dot vhas der sort you embrace
yourself.
1t vhas better dot you doan' sing your
own praises. When somepody else sings
for you it gifts You a shance to blush
Der man who is loudest in his pity for
der poverty of others gets off der sheap-
est. Der market vhas so overst ocked
init pity dot der price vhas very low.

That rheumatism and neuralgia are &c
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land is the victim of one of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form Of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are of constant &C.
currence. Not until the discovery of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
coded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but safe remedy Ii, in the use
of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is ccrtdia, and to aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found to be valuable
aid to the action of the medicine Athlo-
phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonderful efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
a certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing dis eases. They have
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation, loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles. For
diseases Of women they are invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
be safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
cured will be sent free on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cam
not be bought of the druggist, the Athlo-
phoros Co, liz Wall St. New York. will
send either carriage paldl on receipt of
regular price, which is Sl00 per bottle
for Athlophoros and soc for Pills.

The Language of Gloves

The Pail Nall Gazette. having cOnclud
ed its crusade for virtue and purity, now
turns its attention to other important is
sues, the Language of gloves" being a
recent expositorY article. According to
the Gazette: For yes drop one glove
from the right into the left hand. No is
said by rolling both gloves in the right
hand. If you want to express that you
are Indifferent to partner. take the
right-hand glove partly off Il you wish
a male friend to follow you into the next
room strike your left arm with both
gloves. 4 love you still, is expressed by
slowly and carefully smoothing both
gloves. Ii the lady desires to know
whether her affection is reciprocated she
is TO put on half the left-hand glove, one
finger at time. BE on your guard
AGAINST the governor, or my mother,in-
law as the case may be, is a message
often sent, and is given by delicately
twisting the glove fingers round the
thumb. II tie damsel is in a Quarrel
some mood, she simply makes a cross
with both her gloves and proceeds to lay
them on her lap in this position. These
are the principal and most simple rules;
and they should be at once committed to
memory by all persons desiring to shine
in society.

The Davenport Democrat is responsible
for the following amusing anecdote:
During wedding ceremony in this
city, not many moons ago, the bride
Mortified the clergyman and had the
groom and witnesses choking to restrain
laughter. The bride had insisted tina,
the word "obey" in the vows prescribed
for the woman in the ceremony should
be omitted but the clergyman said the
use of it on his part was obligatory. The
wedding was private, only relatives and
choice friends witnessing it. The bride
repeated the formula nicely enough un.

and then it went in this way; "love,
honor and obey-rats" The rodential
phrase was in parenthetic whisper in.

so loud whisper that half dozen wits

The Rapidly of Progress Toward Health.


Even when a good remedy for disease
is selected, it depends in some measure up.
on the manner in which it is taken. Ir-
regular, interrupted doses can afford no
fair test of the efficacy of any medicine,
however salutary. Taken in proper
doses at prescribed intervals, a reliable
curative will effect the object of its use.
Among remedies which, Systematically
and persistently used. accomplish thor
ough and lasting cures, and prevents the
recurrence Of periodic disease, Hostetter's
stomach bitters ranks specially high. In
cases of dyspepsia, debility, rheumatism,
fever and ague, liver complaint. inactiv-
ity of the kidneys and bladder, constipa>
ton. and other organic maiadies, it is a
tried remedy, TO which the medical
brotherhood have lent their professional
sanction, and which. as a tonic. altera>
tive and household specific for disorders
of the stomach, liver and bowels, has an
unbounded popularity.
